Maybe, like you, I make certain “staples” in my culinary repertoire from memory. And, despite our zooming rate of technical wizardry, we are not yet capable of transferring information (recipes?) from one mind’s storage to another mind’s receptors. So, we write down recipes our family, friends, neighbors and food column readers might want. I encourage... Full story
